Dried Manures


Composted manures are excellent fertilizer amendment for yardeners. Whether you are setting out new trees and shrubs, preparing a vegetable garden, or getting flower beds ready for spring planting, dried manure is a wonderful material to mix with the soil at planting time.

Directions for using Dried Cow Manure

Amending Poor Soil:
For clay or sandy soils, incorporate 20 pounds of Espoma Cow Manure per 50 square feet into the top 4-5 inches of soil. If plants are already established, add a 1-2 inch layer of Espoma Cow Manure onto the existing soil.

Vegetable Gardens and Flower Beds
Prior to planting, incorporate 20 pounds of Espoma Cow Manure per 50 square feet into the top 4-5 inches of soil. For row crops or small beds, apply 4 pounds per 10 square feet of row or area. Once plants are established, feed regularly with Espoma Plant-tone or Garden-tone.

Shrubs and Flowering Plants and Bulbs:
Prior to planting, incorporate 4 pounds of Espoma Cow Manure per 10 square feet. Or blend 1 part Espoma Cow Manure with 3 parts soil to plant each shrub, plant or bulb. Once established, feed regularly with Espoma Holly-tone or Plant-tone.

Roses:
Prior to planting, incorporate 20 pounds of Espoma Cow Manure per 50 square feet or blend 1 part Espoma Cow Manure with 3 parts soil for each plant. Once established, feed monthly through the growing season with Espoma Rose-tone or Plant-tone.

Potted Plants
Greenhouses and Seed Flats: Blend 1 part Espoma Cow Manure with 5 parts of a prepared potting medium. For seedlings, water and allow mixture to stand for 3 to 5 days before seeding. Once established, feed regularly with Espoma Flower-tone or Plant-tone.

Lawns:
To improve the condition of soil prior to sodding or seeding a new lawn, incorporate a 1 to 2 inch layer of Espoma Cow Manure onto the surface of the soil. For an established lawn that needs organic matter, add a ½ inch layer of Espoma Cow Manure. Water regularly, and feed with Espoma Turf-tone or Espoma Organic Lawn Food once the Cow Manure is no longer visible.
